The Hunger Games and The Avengers are MILES ahead of any other film released this year.

I would say the best films this year is TED & The Dark Knight Rises.

'Jumper'? I assume you mean 'Looper' and not the Rachel Bilson/Hayden Christensen film? :P

 

Edit: Oh my days! Jason you've gone up slightly in my estimations! Perks is an excellent, mainstream, indie flick. I preferred it to 'Ruby Sparks' easily. It's fighting 'Looper' as my favourite non- batman/avengers film!

 

oh yes definitely looper

I've seen so many films this year, will do a proper ranking tomorrow. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Ruby Sparks, Brave and Avengers Assemble are amongst my favourites! Definately forgetting a load though...

'Batman' and 'Avengers' are the easy highlights! They were extraordinary for me. 'Perks' (biggest surprise for me this year) and 'Looper' were both amazing too though, I genuinely found it hard to pick which one was 3rd and which one was 4th. There is a certain charm to 'Perks' which I loved, though so it just edges 'Looper' for me. '21 Jump Street', 'Ted' & 'The Cabin in the Woods' were the greatest comedies of this year! Far better than most (if not all) comedies I saw last year. 'Sinister' shit me up, big time. I properly loved it! Really can't wait to get the chance to see that again. 'Silver Linings' was a very pleasant surprise and 'American Pie: The Reunion' was brilliant (even if it was just for pure nostalgic reasons). The cast were stronger than ever and the film was a lot stronger on the whole, I thought.

---

'Argo' was excellent too! Not a lot happens (action wise), but my God it's so tense and the story is brilliantly captivating! Ben Affleck is such a brilliant director. 'Hunger Games' was really disappointing though! I had such big expectations of this when I first saw the trailer, but a few bits of it just seemed to drag! The game scenes were fantastic (although the opening battle was very poor - all too fast and didn't really see anything), but everything else was just a let down I thought (I'm alone in thinking this, I realise :P). 'Men In Black 3' was so corny and cheesy, but I actually quite enjoyed it. It seemed to be a part of it's appeal for me.

---

'Prometheus' is the most overrated and over hyped movie of this year for me though. All style, no substance I thought. It was visually breathtaking and Michael Fassbender... WOW. But other than that, I was utterly bored throughout. I thought it was very slow and when it did get entertaining, it seemed to be over pretty quickly. Bleh. Sci-Fi, fantasy things aren't really my thing though. 'The Woman In Black' should have been so much better too. Nothing happened (bar that ONE moment - a pretty good moment too - if you've seen it, you'll know which bit I'm talking about :lol:). '[Rec] 3' was a terrible, terrible film to an otherwise perfect, franchise! It left more questions than it did at answering questions we needed answers for. Utterly pointless. I wouldn't have been that disappointed in it had it been a standalone film, but the fact I'm supposed to associate it with the other 2 films, it's awful in comparison. Biggest disappointment of the year for me, by far.

---

The last three films in my list... the less said about those, the better. I get free tickets and I felt ripped off. VOMIT.

 

'Safety Not Guaranteed' isn't released here for another 3 weeks, but I've seen a HD rip of it and it's very good! Very charming.

1 - 8 are definitely my Top 8.

23 upwards are all great too!

23 - 36 were all also very good.

37 - 48 were underwhelming or forgettable.

And the less said about 49 and below, the better!

 

Great so far, not long left.

01 | The Bourne Legacy

 

I have yet to see it, but based on this gif, I doubt it will be anything less than perfect

http://i49.tinypic.com/wkkcqd.gif

 

02 | The Five Year Engagement

 

Emily Blunt can do no wrong in my eyes, she is perfect. Jason Segel was amazing in this too <3

 

03 | Avengers Assemble

 

The comic geek in me had a fangasm, little to nothing to fault in this.

 

04 | The Muppets

 

Always loved them and this was delightfully entertaining

 

05 | Big Miracle

 

Pretty sure this came out this year :lol:

The intouchables (french movie)

01. Martha Marcy May Marlene :wub:

 

 

It's seriously good, and such a strong debut from the director. I urge you to check it out if you haven't already. Definitely my favourite film of the year! Technically 2011 but was released in the UK in February.

 

02. The Dark Knight Rises

 

03. Skyfall

 

04. 21 Jump Street

 

05. Prometheus

I have seen barely anything else worthy that was out this year :drama: I spend my whole life watching movies, just not 'current' ones in the cinema

Skyfall :wub: So good! And also i liked black swan, so great!

1 Skyfall

2 Avengers Assemble

3 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

4 The Dark Knight Rises

5 Prometheus

6 Looper

7 The Amazing Spider-Man

The Cabin in the Woods

The Avengers

Safety Not Guaranteed

Sleepwalk With Me

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The Hunger Games

Brave

A quick look through my IMDB ratings from this year, I came up with this list, the top 6 are definitely in order, the rest probably could change around a bit. I would have did 20, but The Hobbit is out in like 9 days and this will CLEARLY be up there!!

OK list revised

 

1. Cloud Atlas

2. Prometheus

2. The Hunger Games

Not a great year but easy to mention the movies I hated the most (and strangely the most hyped): Batman - Dark Night Does Something Incomprehensible and Skybore

Moonrise Kingdom

The Master

Looper

 

The only three films that impressed me this year, although I'm yet to see anything from November onwards aka films of the year.

Scrap everything i said.

 

1. Life of Pi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Rest

'Life of Pi' is visually breath taking! So, so good. But as a story/film it was just a bit boring and slow for me. But the visual effects and special effects were excellent. Really worth the 3D too!

Moonrise Kingdom

The Master

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Safety Not Guaranteed

Looper

 

The Perks of Being a Wallflower was shockingly good. Still so many left to see though - Argo, Life of Pi, Zero Dark Thirty, Silver Linings Playbook, Django Unchained etc.
